The New Hampshire Travel Council wrapped its 38th annual Governor’s Conference on Tourism this week. Each year, those throughout the state who make the Granite State the popular destination it is come together and talk about ways to enhance and extend all we have to offer.
Tourism is New Hampshire’s second largest industry, contributing 68,000 jobs to our economy. An estimated 34 million people visited last year, from all over the world, spending $4.6 billion.
Our friends down the hall at the Division of Travel and Tourism Development are New Hampshire’s cheerleaders and they do terrific work telling the world about all the things that make us glad we’re lucky to live here.
What does it take to do that? The video below is a great look behind this important industry.
